Argus' aunt says: Argus was a stray that had wandered to the
home of a friend of a friend. At that time, he went by the name of
Tarzan. He was renamed Argus after Odysseus's dog that waits
faithfully for him for twenty years in Homer's "The Odyssey." For
the first year that we had him, though, he would have been more
suited to go by the name Odysseus. He loved adventures and we were
called out often to pick him up at such places as Wal-Mart, Lowes,
the bowling alley, and the elementary school. Since then, he has
mellowed out and taken on his namesake role as the faithful
companion. He now spends his days sleeping on his warm bed and
begging for belly rubs. His favorite things include boat rides
(though he refuses to swim), playing with his nephew dog, Bosley,
scouting for turkeys with his dad, and chasing the neighborhood
cats. We could not have asked for a more loyal and lovable
dog.

What an incredibly handsome guy you are, Argus!! And so happy-looking, too!! Who wouldn't love to have you by his/her side for a lifetime of adventures? Your family is so lucky to have you for a friend, and you are lucky to have them. I wish you many more years of fun times to be had.

Argus looks like such a gentle soul. I can't imagine him out on some of those adventures he would go on.
Argus - you stay home where it's safe and be a good guy. After all - Santa is watching too!!! Happy holidays and I hope Santa brings you lots of good things.

Omigawd... I just adore the older guys! What a kind, faithful look he has, and it does my heart GOOD to know he has such a devoted family that they would even take the time to post his pics and story on the Web. I just love Argus!

Argus, you look so settled now. I'm glad you found a place and family to call your very own. Love the story. Enjoy your happy life. You are a handsome man. Your little playmate looks like a lot of fun too.
